What is superinfection resistance that results when normal flora
killed by antibiotic allowing emergence of
a new infection; difficult to eliminate
based on the type of microbe
Cultures necessary for accurate treatment
Broad spectrum antibiotic given
How are antibiotic until culture comes back
meds selected for Sensitivity of a Microorganism
use?
Those undergoing GI, cardiac, peripheral
vascular, orthopedic, or gyn surgery

What is the top hand washing
preventative measure
for microbe
prevention
Mild allergic reaction
= Rash, pruritus, hives
Severe allergy =
anaphylactic shock
What are the most Bronchospasm, laryngeal edema,
commonly presenting Vascular collapse → cardiac arrest
complications with superinfection (mouth, skin, respiratory
antibacterial drugs tract, vagina, intestines)
organ toxicity (ototoxicity, hepatoxicity, renal
toxicity)
Obtain patient medical history,
medication history, allergy
history Baseline & current
assessment of wound and/or
patient condition
Monitor lab work including electrolytes,
CBC, renal function, hepatic function in
addition to labs pertinent to the
antibacterial agent(s), i.e. peak and
trough or any labs specifically
mentioned/ordered
Assess for side effects & adverse effects,
superinfections (stomatitis, vaginal
discharge, anal/genital itching,

Check on patient during IV infusion of
medication(IV site is good, not having
allergic reaction)
complete the entire course of anti-bacterials
Foods/drinks with active yeast
